[QUOTE="Fred187, post: 243253"] I'm a Rugby League player now, but I used to be a pretty vicious open-side (still play the odd game during the RL off-season). Anyway, you basically need to be able to hold your own in a ruck (which is a mix of power, weight, bravery, and agression, as well as the technical stuff, which is actually reasonably simple), steal posession effectively (basically technique as well as having the vision to spot your opportunities) and, perhaps most importantly, nail the 10 repeatedly. Flanker is probably the easiest position to play, but the best way to get really good at it is learning by playing. Bulk up if you must, but don't sacrifice speed and mobility. [/QUOTE]
